All credit to the community. I had a feeling that there were many different types of stories that people would want to share, and I was not disappointed.  Everyone had their own unique take,

The voting begins!  

Please be courteous to all participants and take time to read all stories before making the choice for your favorite XRP short story.  You have almost a week, so feel free to take your time! 

For ease of searching, the list above is in alphabetical order.  

Remember:  You only get one vote, and voting ends at midnight, 08/08/18.  

Good luck to all participants!

Great stuff @XRPeteSampras !

Thanks for organizing it and your community spirit!

While I think your own non-partisan vote, as the master and creator of the contest, should carry extra weight.

Thanks for creating this post. I am a new member to xrpchat and a moderator approved my post but I don't see a way in which I can vote for an essay. Nevermind, I saw the answer below that my account needs to 6 days old. WOW!

I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful. Some posts have 300+ views while others have like ~30. Is this a contest of how many views you can get? Is this a popularity contest? Somebody is going to drop "Sorry your post isn't getting any hits dude but chill" however my point is this is not uniform. If I had 1000+ followers on twitter that would all sign up for this thing and vote for me then I could have a terrible story and still win. Note: Not saying anybody's story is bad. Just pointing out a flaw in the voting process.

Yup. XRP Twitter has an innate advantage in this contest. All good though, no hard feelings.

Apologies to all--I've been travelling home all day and just now have a chance to post!

I'd like to extend a hearty congratulations to the contest winners:

 

@WillIAMRich :  1,000 XRP

@Panosmek :  500 XRP

@Raregem :  250 XRP

@JCCollins :  Silver Ripple Medallion donated by @Mercury

 

I will be messaging each of you to ensure I send the prizes to the right XRP addresses (except for you, JC.  I will have @Mercury message you to work out the mailing of the medallion!)

 

Thank you to everyone who posted their XRP-inspired stories.  These will be capturing the imagination of current and future XRP community members for a long time to come, and I truly appreciate all of your time and effort.  :i-m_so_happy:

Congratulations to all the winners. Great participation and great stories from all. Everyone should be proud of themselves for being a part of this amazing XRP adventure. 

And a big thanks to @XRPeteSampras for putting on an excellent and worthwhile contest, as well as @Mercury for the added prize.
